Ask yourself: What things will I do to take good care of myself during the holidays?

Ask yourself: How do I want to feel during the holidays and when the holidays are over? What activities will support that?

Red and Green

Red and green for the holidays.   To make the holidays more enjoyable ask yourself: Would I be okay with turning down invitations to events I'm not interested in?

Message from The Snow

Walking along a snowy rural road I asked in my mind, “What nature being would like to speak with me today?”
I walked a few steps with possibilities floating through my mind.
Then I felt the intuitive hit – The Snow.
I stopped. Curious, I checked again to be sure.
“The Snow wants to talk with me?”
Looking at the Snow, the feeling of YES came again to my body. Correct!
A feeling of gratitude with a bit of excitement filled me.

The Snow was sparkling in the sunshine.
A few ice crystals were really bright.
I also noticed the softness of the shape.

Walking to a place where I could sit and more easily inquire, I held the gratitude I felt and shared with the Snow that I would like to continue the conversation. When I sat and felt into what was being shared with me, the Snow showed me the frozenness of it.
The solidity of frozen water. The strength.
It also shared with me how it
blesses everything as it falls, with everyone and
everything being an equal recipient of its blessings.

I again shared my gratitude with the Snow and continued to enjoy the sights and sounds of where I was sitting: Canadian geese, small birds twittering and flitting about, the warm sunshine on my face, nearby horses wondering about my presence.

May we all be like snow.

Sparkling, bright, soft,
yet solid and strong
blessing everyone and everything 
with whom we come in contact.

This image is from the same hike as yesterday’s photo. I like the long shadows created from the low position of the sun in late autumn.

On a recent hike, a few days before the snow and cold arrived last week, I visited a nearby area that has been closed since the September flood and reopened just before Thanksgiving. The weather was gorgeous: warm for this time of year, barely a breeze and lots of sunshine. I found a place to sit and take in the surroundings. I enjoy the subtle color differences of the variety of vegetation this time of year. When the snow melts after a heavy snowfall the vegetation isn’t as attractive because the weight of the snow flattens it. I’m fortunate I took this when I did.
